Summary: I've seen the future of horror... and this isn't it
Review: I went to go see Blade II (which kicked rear by the way) and I had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing the preview for this piece of [junk]. GIVE ME A BREAK! JUST A TINY BREAK! This flick looks to be the most rediculous thing ever too be seen by the human eye. The fact that this even made it onto paper baffles me. How stupid can you get? I am so sick of this series, once you've seen the first 3 or 4, you've seen them all, so why bother even thinking about this garbage? Somebody needs to call ... Waste and Abuse for improper use of materials to write and make this "so called" film. Terrible, just terrible

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Jason X a pretty adverage movie.
Review: I viewed a advance of this movie a couple days ago, and watched it again today. Ive now seen it twice and decided to write a good things bad things list for potential viewers.

Good Things: High Body Count, this movie features death's at a almost non-stop pace. It will probably rival the highest body count in movie history. New unseen before kill-types, some of his kills were just plain cool. With the futuristic flow and plot of the movie, it offerd alot of chances for high-tech kills and they took advantage of just that. New background, although part 8 took place on a ship and Manhatten it was still nice to get out of the woods and into a new setting. New outfit, although you don't get to see much of this new outfit it was still nice to see a new high-tech mask and suit.

Bad things: Unbelievable stuff, yes I know its a horror movie and its a slasher flick, but normally its the slasher performing these unbelievable feats, in this movie even the regular human pray performed just outrages feats. For example: A man is cut in half by Jason, after they show the remaining crew's reaction of this grusome sound they cut back to where he was cut in half, and to the surprise of me he(the man cut in half) is crawling across the floor with no lower half. It left me thinking how in the heck could you do that??? Bad acting, in this movie the actors didn't seem like they were that scared of Jason. I mean this guy is coming to kill you, and they just didn't act like they were that scared. Lack of continuents, as in part 9 the directors/plot offer no explanation of how Jason was resurrected. The movie simply starts with Jason standing in chains, on a stand-up bed. And through out the movie, they don't offer any explanation of how he got that way. Boring middle of the film, although the beginning and end were exciting, the middle got slow. Maybe a result of so many kills, I mean watching someone get slashed with a blade is only interesting about 4 times in 1 movie. The whole middle of the film was basically kill after kill, I found myself sitting there thinking when is the ending going to come only a hour into the film. To sci-fi, I understand this is a movie supposedly based in the future, and at times this setting really helped the film however at times it hurt it. Sometimes the plot cut away from the "get away from Jason" theme to a "Deep space" theme. You'll find yourself wondering what to be more worried about, Jason or Space itself.

Because of these flaws it will only recieve a vote of 3 stars. Although it wasn't the best movie of the series which remains to be (1,2,4,& 6), it definetly wasn't the worst which remains to be (5,8,& 9). Jason X falls in the middle of the pack with part 3, and part 7. A couple things here and there it could have easily been up there with best in series, in same breath a few more mistakes it could have been in back of pack with worst. There were a couple things that saved this film, a great sceen that involves Crystal Lake. Without this sceen I believe it probably would have fallen to worst of the series. And of course the new Jason, without this change into "Super" Jason it probably wouldn't have gotten such a high mark. But you do come out satisfied, you weren't going into this film believing it was the second coming of ET or Titanic anyways. It is what it's advertised to be, a Horror/Sci-Fi slasher film for the hard-core horror fans. Even though, it lacked in the scare department as the last couple installments have done. My suggestion is to go see it for yourself, because no matter what I or any other film critic or fan says, the only person that can tell you for sure if you like it or not is you. Hope this review helped.

Summary: Jason X is The King
Review: ...This movie is the best of the series none of the others even come close...The movie starts some where after the year 2010 where Jason has been captured and it has been discovered that he has regenitive powers (no duh) so of course some guy want's him for research. Big mistake he gets loose kills people and then get trick by some woman who cryogenicly freezes him and herself by accident.

Then is goes forward to around 2450 where some students find both bodies and of course bring them on there ship to unfreeze them well the woman anyway. Then Jason regenerates and hell breaks loose, they try using marines but no chance. I won't reveal anymore because this movie is well worth watching. ...the movie has tons of great one liners my favourate being "It's OK guys he just wanted his machette back"

So when this movie comes out be first in line, it's appropriately subtitled "Evil Gets An Upgrade" which indeed it does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST FRIDAYTHE 13TH MOVIE EVER
Review: I was one of the lucky people to download this movie on the iternet and it was the best movie I ever saw. Even though I already saw it Im still gonna see it when it comes in theatre cause I never saw a friday the thirteenth movie on the big screen

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Whoops!
Review: I went to see the very entertaing Resident Evil and sat down with a couple of friends just in time to catch the previews. I love to watch the previews, a sample of the movies to remember to see. The Jason X preview appeared and the whole audience went wild. Not with fear but with laughter. "Scary Movie 3" I thought silently in my head. After about a minute or two of this sad excuse for a movie I realized that this was not a spoof but a real movie. "Jason in Space" you've gotta be kidding me! It's a sad thing these days when a horror movie can be confused with a spoof. For all that it's worth, this trailer was one good laugh!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Jason X promises gold, and delivers lead - instead
Review: For those who haven't yet seen a pre-screening or bootleg of this movie, and are F13 fans... don't expect any more than the standard F13 formula. Yes, even though this time it's in space.

I won't run down the overall plot, because if you're a friday fan, you probably already know. But essentially it just takes the crystal lake setting, and replaces it with a space ship,- ala the cruise liner in part 8: Jason takes Manhattan.

I haven't seen the pre-screening or some version you can download off the net, I've seen the actual VHS bootleg that's been floating around Europe for several months now.

Overall... it's a mediocre affair, bordering on POOR which is why I give it 2 stars. Here's a quick rundown on why it gets 2 stars...

Acting: Acting is abysmal is this movie. It's passable, but NONE, not one of the actors either gives, or is given the chance to really stand out. Call it bad acting, or call it bad script... but what it translates to is stupid, paper thin characters you don't give a hoot about.

Plot: The plot, as usual... has the required resurrection of Jason, followed by numerous Jason style killings. Some funny, some gross, some not-so gross. This is the standard formula for Friday films, if you're okay with that, then fine, if you've been believing the hype that this is going to propel the series in a quantum leap foward, you're dreadfully mistaken... especially considering the end of the film virtually puts Jason right back where he started.

Originality: Originality is non-existent in Jason X. The imagery, action, atmosphere, special effects and pyrotechnics are all DIRECTLY derivative from science fiction movies we've all seen over the last 10-20 years.

Continuity: Continuity is YET AGAIN completely ignored. No proper explaination was given for the progrssion from part 8 to part 9, and the same has happened again with part 9 and part 10 (X).

These major flaws are why it gets 2 stars. So what are the good points? Why am I giving it 2 stars instead of 1? It doesn't have many good points, but there they are...

Cyber Jason: Jason gets a cyber upgrade, which makes him look like an extremely evil version of Robocop. This was a really nifty idea, but unfortunately, nothing was done with it. You only see Cyber Jason for about 10 minutes before he "dies".

Change Of Setting: Despite it's extreme lack of originality and montage of rip-offs, the change of setting is a welcome change. It will effectively change the series from "slasher horror" into "slasher sci-fi horror"... but that's cool, after 9 films in 1 setting, a change is a good idea.

...So that's it. When it comes out at the movies, don't see it unless you're the insatiably curious type with nothing to do. Wait for it on video. It's not that crash-hot.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What are you people thinking!!!
Review: Doesn't anyone have a good taste for real horror movies anymore???? What happened to creating a plot rather than seeing how many bodies can be slashed in an hour and a half. I mean Jason in Space?? Doesn't that sound just a little ridiculous and tacky? Horror movies have all gone down hill...this is just rock bottom!!! Silence of the Lambs is a classic horror film that every horror slaher movie maker out there should learn a lesson from...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jason X-treme!!
Review: I have not seen many of the friday the thirteenth movies, just enough to know what its about. This movie which I was fortunate of finding a download for was pretty good for a futuristic horror film. It does a pretty good job of going over some of the history. Aside from that, it had more good points than bad. A lot it of the killings I thought were really gnarley, some even humorous, specially the lake killing. The acting in my view was okay, some of them could be more terrified of Jason. I also wanted to see more of the upgraded Jason too. All in all though, it was a good movie and I say get some tickets when it comes out.
